Round Hill is also great

Hi,

Looking for a secondhand Islabike Rothan or a Frog Tadpole.

We’re in Bath so anywhere around here otherwise I’m in London two days a week, Paddington Station or SE1.

For a tall 21month old.

Thanks

Fantastic, thanks!

@Mr_Smyth That’ll be plan B

I’m struggling to find the post but I think a while back was a recommended builders merchant who had a lot of advice for old/heritage buildings on their website - can anyone re-recommend?

I need to fill and tidy the gap between the bath stone and wooden door frame. And a million other jobs.

Is there a reliable solution to replace a USB A cable with a wireless connection?

Looking to wirelessly connect a niche CNC paper cutter (Intec FB900) to my win11 pro laptop instead of the 8m long USB A booster cable thing I’m currently using. I have an Eero Pro in the room and could add another next to the device if that was the start to making a solution.

That could look good on the front of the building, thanks. Will have a look if there’s a cheaper version.

Lower profile question was to find something that could be opened enough to get the plug in and out in the current location. Tools etc. Not an ideal spot for a shed but the only spot!

I’m going to put up shed against the side of this outdoor socket. It’s going to be too close to open the lid enough to get a plug in. I’d rather not move the box to the front of the building so…

Does anyone know of a particularly low-profile outdoor socket box?
If I did have to move it, what’s the best looking outdoor socket box that’d look good against the weathered wooden surface? Ideally black. Saw some Gira bits online but were Euro plugs and not IP66 rated.

Glad you enjoyed. Hope the train was fun too. Saw plenty of kids so assumed they had some sort of child menu, sorry! Our 1yr old isn’t quite ordering a la carte so hadn’t clocked. Baby change is pretty poor across town.

The Walcot is pretty family friendly in the front section. Have only been for Sunday roasts, which are great.

Landrace Bakery nearby is worth a stop for a takeaway cinnamon bun.

Both a bit of a walk from the station.

+1 Beckford Bottle Shop is great.

That's great to know, thanks. Might have a few questions if/when I get to starting.

I'd been asking some time back. If you end up using it please post learnings here!
A baby and more practical problems have gotten in the way of my project.

Ah, that's really interesting, thanks. Had come across their site before but good to see it in situ.

Looks great! Made from scratch or did you get it prefabricated?
My search skills are weak, apologies.

Thanks for the id, looks great

ID of the lamp left of the iMac? Not the Anglepoise

Would covering over the root area of a 5m Acer tree with a weed membrane thing and gravel kill it?

Technically maybe only half of the roots as the tree sits right next to a wall. We were going to make a gravel walkway between raised beds and thought it’d look nice going flush to the tree but obviously don’t want to kill it. And don’t know anything about gardening.

Got it.

I guess my angle is we're slowly doing up the house on a budget and bought some 'nice' things along the way which all turned out to be shit quality anyway.

@Bobbo £15K for door handles!

Has anyone used Heritage Brass ironmongery/front door furniture? Any good?

It’s a lot cheaper than some of the other brands we’ve looked at and wondering how the quality stacks up.

Yes, the side-by-side arrangement was the one I meant by horizontal. I hadn’t thought about weakening the door like that so thanks for the warning!

This alternative has an 82mm backset which might be a compromise:

It’s an old’ish house and for whatever reason in my mind a handle doesn’t look appropriate.

I’m going to refurb our front door and would like to replace the handle with a knob on a rose+key hole thing but that would be too close to the frame to comfortably open/close. It’s a five lever sashlock with the centre of the handle 50mm from the lip of door.

What are my options?
Is there a type of sashlock thats 30mm or so further back that I could chisel out. Or would I have to change to a horizontal sashlock and fill above and below the void left from removing the old taller one.

Cheers!

@TW these links are really helpful too

Also staring at some sash windows - would lime putty be appropriate for limestone sill/sash gap and around a front door frame?

Cheers. Had a look at my partners Raybans and yes, significantly better. Will chat to an optician

Sorry if I’ve misunderstood - Will head to an optician for the new sunglasses lenses but curious for anecdotal recommendations of things I could see if they stock/use.

Any recommended lens type or coating for sunglasses that would get rid of back glare?

I bought a pair of Moscot sunglasses matching my regular glasses to eventually get my prescription put in but the reflected glare back into my eyes is ridiculous. Same issue with their clip-on sunglasses. Can’t see anything when the suns out!
